Quilts made using vintage machines!
#1431
My first quilt, finished just before New Years Eve, was for my dog Bix... I helped sew most of the blocks for our king size bed quilt and while my wife was piecing it together she couldn't keep Bix off of the quilt, so he needed his own. I sewed all of the blocks with my LBOW 301A, but switched to my Pfaff 1171 for the piecing- it's going to take me a while to get used to the 301 for longer pieces. Here's a pic of the final quilt & also the 301.

Awesome costume. I wish we had gatherings up here in Alberta more often, if they do they are Voyageur canoe themed and people dress like trappers, Voyageurs and first nations sometimes. They are usually called rendevouz events and part of Canoe brigade trips.

I just finished a toddler size "Bento Box" quilt using 3 machines. The piecing was done with either a Pfaff 60 or White Rotary treadle, the quilting was done by a Bernina 930 and finally the 1917 White Rotary did the binding.
Here's the video of me sewing the binding. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4kVaamCRnc

Oh Sharon, what a wonderful quilt.... and all on your vintage machines?? I really need to get working on my treadle.... just need to adjust the belt because it slips. It must be warm enough in Texas to display your quilt outside. I'm jealous. It's been the most frigid, snowy winter this year in Michigan... don't know when I'll see the ground again. The pile of snow in front of my house is as tall as I am...... the guy that plows says he's going to have to start piling it in another place.
